Well, I received an email from a company requesting a short bio, from their customers, stating why you liked their company and a recent photo. If they liked it, you could be selected to be on their next television ad. Since, I could easily come up with a few statements sharing why I was a fan and already had a photo on hand, I decided to go for it.
A week later I received a call from the company's ad agency. They had a few more questions to ask and then requested a one minute video testimonial. EEEW. That required a little more effort, but I was in it this far so why not? The nice lady informed me that she would not be able to call all who entered so if I wasn't selected, they would just send an email.
I ended up spending an hour videoing and re-videoing myself stating what I liked about their company. Finally gave up and saved it for the next day. The twins were with me in the background, but it was now or never. "Send".
A few more days passed and I received another call with that same area code. A call? My palms began to sweat. A gentlemen informed me that I had been one of the ten selected. They would be flying me out August 4th to California for a video shoot to give a testimonial for Vitacost.com! I hadn't considered this really happening so it was pretty exciting for this gal who hasn't been any further west (in the States) than Tennessee.
They will do hair and makeup. I just had to provide wardrobe. You can bet that I have been going through my closet looking for what they called "casual, but stylish".
Well, I'm off to California by myself to be delivered to folks I've never met. I'll have to be adventurous if I want to leave the hotel to explore the surrounding area. Yup, this intimidates me.
I'll keep you updated...and if I want to embarrass myself more I will attach the entry video I sent in. :)
